Be it known that I. FRANK E KEYES, a resident of York, in the county of New York and, State of New York, have invent-13d certain new and useful 12n vrovenumts in Boiier-Foed Purifiers; and I do hereby do olal'e the following to be a foil, oiear, and 014-- not description of the invention, such as; wiH enable otl iors skilled in the art to which it appertains to 'nmko and use the ammo.

M invention. relates to an impro vool wot-or- .pur 'er, tho object of the invention being to provide on improved purifier Eooatod botween the feed-water heater and. the boiler and afiaptod to remove all substances from the water which would otherwisga form scale in the boilor; and the invention ooosisis in certain novel features oi oonstmotion and combinations and mmngemonis of arts, as will be more fuii'y horehmfter doaorfived and pointed out, in the shims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure, 1. a View in elm/onion, lllustmti no: the location of my improvod. purifier; aod'Fig. Z is an em lorged view, in vertical section, of the purifier; detached.

1 repx'esonts my improved uurifior, which is kaoatori at point between too food-waterheaiing aha-labor 2 and. the boiier The imrifior 1 comprises a chamber preferably argor at its bottom than at. its to and providod with a. partition or homo-p ate 4, oxtending from the top downward tho desired Histanoe and prefombiy disposod at, & siight incline, as shown. A pipe 5 'oonnoot-s the feed'water heater 2 with an inlot-port 6 in chamber 1 non-s? the top of tho ohmnbor, and. an outlet '1' in the opposite side of the shambor and at a point hi her up than inlet 6 is oonneotod'by a pipe- 8 with boiler A b1owofi pipe 9 communicates with a port 19 in the bottom of chamber '1, and. an opening 1 is top of tho chambor to roceive a thermometer to disclose tho tamperature of the water therein Hot water enters inlot 6 rmfi is defiooi ed downward b'v buifiwpinto 4. cruising the wa-- her to flow ownward and doposit its smlo, forming impurities in the homo of tho chamber, and this baffle-plate is. sfiightl inoiined and terminates some (Momma a Jove the chamber-bottom and does not amuse the impurities ooiloohod in the bot-tom of the chamber to be agitated by tho flow of water.

The water after depositing its impurmes in the chamber passes upward and out through nil 1313i 7 and pipe 8 to the boiler.

The bot-tom of the purifier is iarger than the top in order to quiet or still the water, so that impurities can settle quickly, and they son from time to time, 83060381011 may require, be blown out through port in the bottom of the chamber, suitable cooks being of course; pl'ovidori to regulate the flow of the wot-or.
